Central-Eurasia-L - Announcement List for Central Eurasian Studies
Central-Eurasia-L is an e-mail announcement list for Central Eurasian Studies
-- including the region from Eastern Turkistan and Mongolia to Afghanistan,
the Caucasus, and Islamic and Turkic regions of Russia. The purpose of
this list is to enable the distribution of announcements about matters of interest
to Central Eurasian Studies. This information distribution list is moderated
and is *not* for discussion, and therefore subscribers need not fear lengthy
messages or opinion and polemics. This appears to be the most widely subscribed
list of any relevant to the Central Eurasian region.
